Dylan,
I don't know know if it's possible to force Mapserver to save temporary
copies of all its images. Perhaps someone else knows...
Anyway, wouldn't it adversely affect Mapserver's performance if you
saved images server side? I suspect that would skew the results of your
benchmarking.
You can use JMeter to save the images it receives from Mapserver. To
the "Thread Group", add a "Post Processor" called "Save Responses to a
file". Done.

Thanks Brock,
I downloaded jmeter, and it works well. however i am having the same problem
where a stress test to a mapserver application:
http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/mapserver/dhtml/mapunit_dhtml.php?map=/data1/website/mapserver/dhtml/mapunit.map&county_id=ca_19e&mapext=-2033880.156141%20-172259.493337%20-1923223.887901%20-91817.904578&message=zoomed_to_ssurgo-area
performs as expected, however mapserver generates no images in its temp
directory...
am i doing something wrong here?
thanks!

Dylan,
I suggest JMeter. It was designed to load test resources, including
HTTP resources like Mapserver. In fact, I have used it several times
for precisely that purpose. It's open source, and written in Java. You
can get it here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/
JMeter has lots of neat features built in, but it's not too hard to add
custom functionality if required.

Greetings:
I am looking into a couple ways of load testing my mapserver application.
I have tried using 'flood' from the apache set of tools, however I cannot
seem to get it to work properly...
Any thoughts on other load testing apps?
thanks!
